Elopement Coverage for a Gentle Giant in a Cozy Home :)
Introduction
Hi! I'm Josie and I have a lovable German Shepard/Colli named Nako (pronounced Nay-Koe). I tend to travel a lot and am living in a sweet, cozy home in south Minneapolis. This current trip is for my fiance and I’s elopement in the Northern Cascades! We’d love to have someone fall in love with Nako while we say our vows. I've heard great things about this service and I used to live in a van to travel the country - I would love to have some travelers stay in my place and feel at home in Minneapolis!
Show more...Home & location
This beautiful home in south Minneapolis has a ton of character and is in a prime location. It's directly next to Hiawatha golf course and has tons of delicious restaurants in biking distance (A couple being a 10 minute walk away). Some of my favorite food spots nearby are Matt's (world famous), I.e. , Reverie and the 5/8. This home features a california king sized bed, two working desks, a private yard to take out Nako, a fridge, microwave, oven, air fryer, and European coffee maker. The cross streets of the home are 42nd Street and 22nd Ave. Lake Nakomis is a 4 minute drive away and is a beautiful place to go for a walk or watch the sunset. It's also a short drive or uber from downtown Minneapolis! I used to live there so I have plenty of recommendations.

Feed Nako 2x per day and take him out 3x per day (our yard is private but only fenced in 3/4 of the way so you just need to make sure he stays in the back (he's never run away before)). He also gets medication every night - two pills with his food.

Nice and chill sit. Nako was such a breeze! Very well behaved at home and on walks, doesn’t pull or bark at other dogs. He’s social and loves to be with people. Although he will be super happy going on a walk, he also quite enjoys relaxing at home. Josie was very welcoming, and the house was super cute and comfy and located in a great neighborhood to walk around. Would definitely recommend and I would love to come hang out with Nako again!

Taking care of Nako and Josie's lovely place was a delight!! Nako is an absolute sweetheart, very calm and personable. His mismatched floppy ears instantly charmed me and his sweet, gentle nature was evident right away! He knows his routine and was a perfect boy; his recall was very good and he did beautifully on a couple of adventures to public parks. He's very smart but also a little goofy and was truly so much fun to just hang out with! I would absolutely love to see Nako again, even just for a walk around the neighborhood. Josie's place is so cute and comfortable in a pretty quiet, green neighborhood! She was communicative and thorough so I knew exactly how to take care of her place and Nako. She also was incredibly generous opening her house to a couple of my friends (discussed prior to agreeing on the sit) who got to meet and fall in love with Nako as well!! All of my interactions with Josie were open, kind, and overall just lovely! Absolutely charming sit, from Nako to the house to Josie! I had a wonderful time and would come back in a heartbeat if the chance arose:)

Josie was an excellent communicator the entire time as questions arose. She was more than willing to make accommodations that assisted with my travel plans. “Check in” and “check out” went smoothly, and Nako was the sweetest pup. He loves attention, LOVES walks, and his is the biggest teddy bear you will meet. On our walks he would get a little frightened if there was a lot of people, but would just snug up behind me, never tugged or tried to dart away. He also doesn’t need a leash when using the bathroom, which makes for easier tasks. Josie’s house was in a beautiful location, super close to minnehaha falls and lots of cute restaurants and coffee shops. there’s one sweet coffee shop only a 10 minute walk away that was called Northern Coffeeworks, seriously some of the best coffee I’ve had and a great work from home location. 10/10 would recommend!

Nako is such a sweet dog, and extremely well trained and well behaved. He is great on walks and very snuggly. Josie was easy going and promptly responded to any questions I had, very helpful for my first official sit. The house is located in a cute neighborhood that's great for walking. I felt comfortable in their cozy home, and would happily hang out with Nako again.
